How much does a WTE plant cost?
Cost of incineration plant by formula According to the formula, the cost of a 40,000 tpa plant is $41 million, or $1,026 per ton of annual capacity. A Medium-sized 250,000 tpa plant should cost $169 million, or $680 per ton of annual capacity. These numbers give us the first estimation of how much waste-to-energy is.
